Any harm from too many fuse pulls? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have been pulling my 5 & 20 fuses every time I park my car recently and am wondering if this could cause anything negative to the car. It doesn't seem to me like it would but just thought I'd ask some opinions.

Why are you doing that? No, not going to hurt anything.

tohper · 08-05-2013, 02:52 PM

Only need to do once unless u keep putting low octane back in it

It probably won't hurt much. Could looses up the connector base over a long time possibly but it's not necessary.

You may get carpal tunnel for that

It's not good on the contacts inside the fuse panel. You only needed to do it once unless you put in lower octane fuel again.

If you're going to keep doing that just route them to a switch on your dash, but don't see where it's necessary.

Yeah, I'm doing it because I separated from my soon to be ex wife and she had some unsavory characters at our townhouse (one was arrested for breaking into the neighbors cars.) Anyway when I went to get the rest of my belonging my spare key was missing and it was sitting on top of my business card with work address and I assume they have my home address. It was the easiest way I could think to have the car disabled until I have it rekeyed. I need to be able to disable it and the start it in a reasonable time and something that would take a long time to figure out why it won't start.

Just take the car to the dealer and have them change the transmitter frequency. I did that with mine and told them I wanted all new locks and ignition and they did it at no charge since I would be paying them for the new locks and keys.

How much was the total bill for that?

Not cheap. Right around $500.00 total for the 2 locks, ignition and 2 new remotes. Well worth it since my house was broken into and they stole my spare key. Had the transmitter re-programmed the next day. Doen't take very long at all.
